CLASS HISTORY We started on one of the most eventful and hardest tasks of our life in September, 1939. This was the time when we first explored the mysteries of reading and writing. ' This was a very trying experience but as we were young and willing to learn, it was soon conquered. For eight long years we applied what we learned that first year, adding more each year for the time when we would become Freshmen in high school At last this time came First we were Freshmen. Most of us felt the same way that first day as we did on thaf long ago day in September, 1939. We were, according to the Sophomores, the most stupid Freshmen in years. The one thing that was hardest for us to learn was that we still had rules and these had to be obeyed. To help us with this we had Mr. Hugh Cox and Mr. B. J. Mickleson, as our teachers, and Leroy Sasser, as our class president. Then we were Sophomores. This year Mrs. Morse and Mrs. Blackburn were to help us over the bumps. Again Leroy Sasser was president of the class. The two most outstanding things that hap- pened were the selecting of our classrings and the Halloween Carnival. The money from the Carnival was to be used for our far off Junior-Senior. It wasn ' t as far off as we thought. Next we were Juniors. Many of our classmates had fallen out by now. Miss Louise Tunstall had left us due to the sickness of her mother but in her place came one of our best loved teachers, t Mr A W. James We elected David Miller class president. This year we had many important things to do. The first big job to come to us was Stunt Night. This was easy compared to the next job, that of the Junior Play. The money from these two was used to finance the last and hardest job of all, the Junior-Senior. We had to work to get this put over, not only for just the weeks before it came off but for years before. After the gym was all ready for the big night we were very proud of the good work that had been done. Everyone said the gym looked better than they had ever seen it. To finish the year right we got our rings. Now we are Seniors. At the beginning of the year it seemed sfrange not to have anyone to look up to as we had done for the last three years. We have many things to do but under the leadership of Miss Hales, our teacher, and Jimmy Thomason, our president, how can we fail to do all well? Among our projects are getting over the Annual, going to Washington, the Senior Play, and the most impor- tant thing of all— GRADUATION. Now we realize that it wasn ' t all work but almost all pleasure, and if -you feel discouraged, remember you will get there in the end — we did. Edna English Class Historian
